suspended, provided an affidavit | ||||||
6 | is properly completed, the appropriate fee
received, and a | ||||||
7 | permit issued prior to the effective date of the
| ||||||
8 | suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of | ||||||
9 | which occurred
while operating a commercial vehicle in | ||||||
10 | connection with the driver's
regular occupation. All other | ||||||
11 | driving privileges shall be suspended by the
Secretary of | ||||||
12 | State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for
| ||||||
13 | occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on | ||||||
14 | forms to be
provided by the Secretary of State setting | ||||||
15 | forth the facts of the person's
occupation. The affidavit | ||||||
16 | shall also state the number of offenses
committed while | ||||||
17 | operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
| ||||||
18 | occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the | ||||||
19 | driver's license.
Upon receipt of a properly completed | ||||||
20 | affidavit, the Secretary of State
shall issue the driver a | ||||||
21 | permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the
driver's | ||||||
22 | regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
| ||||||
23 | Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the | ||||||
24 | privilege to drive
any motor vehicle shall be suspended as | ||||||
25 | set forth in the notice that was
mailed under this Section. | ||||||
26 | If an affidavit is received subsequent to the
effective | ||||||
27 | date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the | ||||||
28 | remainder
of the suspension period.
| ||||||
29 | The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to | ||||||
30 | any driver
required to obtain a commercial driver's license | ||||||
31 | under Section 6-507 during
the period of a disqualification | ||||||
32 | of commercial driving privileges under
Section 6-514.
| ||||||
33 | Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit | ||||||
34 | required
herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section | ||||||
35 | 6-302 and upon conviction
thereof shall have all driving | ||||||
36 | privileges revoked without further rights.
|
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | 3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 | ||||||
2 | of this Code,
the Secretary of State shall either rescind | ||||||
3 | or continue an order of
revocation or shall substitute an | ||||||
4 | order of suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, | ||||||
5 | rescind, continue, change, or extend the
order of | ||||||
6 | suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the | ||||||
7 | order,
the Secretary may upon application,
to relieve undue | ||||||
8 | hardship, issue
a restricted driving permit granting the | ||||||
9 | privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the | ||||||
10 | petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
| ||||||
11 | employment or within the scope of his employment related | ||||||
12 | duties, or to
allow transportation for the petitioner, or a | ||||||
13 | household member of the
petitioner's family, to receive | ||||||
14 | necessary medical care and if the
professional evaluation | ||||||
15 | indicates, provide transportation for alcohol
remedial or | ||||||
16 | rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
| ||||||
17 | classes, as a student, in an accredited educational | ||||||
18 | institution; if the
petitioner is able to demonstrate that | ||||||
19 | no alternative means of
transportation is reasonably | ||||||
20 | available and the petitioner will not endanger
the public | ||||||
21 | safety or welfare.
| ||||||
22 | If a person's license or permit has been revoked or | ||||||
23 | suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating Section | ||||||
24 | 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a local | ||||||
25 | ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out
of | ||||||
26 | separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted | ||||||
27 | driving permit,
may not operate a vehicle unless it has | ||||||
28 | been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined | ||||||
29 | in Section 1-129.1.
| ||||||
30 | If a person's license or permit has been revoked or | ||||||
31 | suspended 2 or more
times within a 10 year period due to a | ||||||
32 | single conviction of violating Section
11-501 of this Code | ||||||
33 | or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
| ||||||
34 | out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension | ||||||
35 | under Section
11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary | ||||||
36 | suspensions, or combination of 2
offenses, or of an offense |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of
separate | ||||||
2 | occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving | ||||||
3 | permit, may
not operate a vehicle unless it has been
| ||||||
4 | equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in | ||||||
5 | Section 1-129.1.
The person must pay to the Secretary of | ||||||
6 | State DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed $20 | ||||||
7 | per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
| ||||||
8 | and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these | ||||||
9 | fees. If the
restricted driving permit was issued for | ||||||
10 | employment purposes, then this
provision does not apply to | ||||||
11 | the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by | ||||||
12 | that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may | ||||||
13 | issue a
restricted driving permit for a period deemed | ||||||
14 | appropriate, except that all
permits shall expire within | ||||||
15 | one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary
may not, | ||||||
16 | however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person | ||||||
17 | whose current
revocation is the result of a second or | ||||||
18 | subsequent conviction for a violation
of Section 11-501 of | ||||||
19 | this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
| ||||||
20 | relating to the offense of operating or being in physical | ||||||
21 | control of a motor
vehicle while under the influence of | ||||||
22 | alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
compound or | ||||||
23 | compounds, or any similar out-of-state offense, or any | ||||||
24 | combination
of those offenses, until the expiration of at | ||||||
25 | least one year from the date of
the revocation. A
| ||||||
26 | restricted driving permit issued under this Section shall | ||||||
27 | be subject to
cancellation, revocation, and suspension by | ||||||
28 | the Secretary of State in like
manner and for like cause as | ||||||
29 | a driver's license issued under this Code may be
cancelled, | ||||||
30 | revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or | ||||||
31 | more
offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the | ||||||
32 | movement of traffic
shall be deemed sufficient cause for | ||||||
33 | the revocation, suspension, or
cancellation of a | ||||||
34 | restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
a | ||||||
35 | condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit, | ||||||
36 | require the
applicant to participate in a designated driver |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | remedial or rehabilitative
program. The Secretary of State | ||||||
2 | is authorized to cancel a restricted
driving permit if the | ||||||
3 | permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
| ||||||
4 | (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the | ||||||
5 | reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant | ||||||
6 | whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he | ||||||
7 | or she reached the age of 18 years pursuant to any of
the | ||||||
8 | provisions of this Section, require the applicant to | ||||||
9 | participate in a
driver remedial education course and be | ||||||
10 | retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
| ||||||
11 | (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the | ||||||
12 | Drivers License
Compact.
| ||||||
13 | (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted | ||||||
14 | driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose | ||||||
15 | driving privileges have been suspended
or revoked under any | ||||||
16 | provisions of this Code.
